We're enhancing the student experience by helping them build skills beyond the classroom to prepare them to succeed after they graduate.

Guided by our Teaching and Learning Strategy, the University of Calgary is committed to fostering work-integrated learning opportunities for students.

From micro-credentials, paid co-ops and internships, to volunteer experiences and travel abroad opportunities, our students are growing their skills through experiential learning.

To make it easier for students to access hands-on learning opportunities, we’ve created Elevate — a single portal to access career advising, career fairs, leadership training, study-abroad details, volunteer opportunities and more.
